Description

A very basic translation of the popular game show Wheel Of Fortune, where you guess letters until you can guess the phrase. This CGA version has three old-school rounds of Wheel of Fortune (where the puzzles are simply "Phrase", "Title", "Person", etc.) and then a bonus round. You can compete against 2 computer players or up to three people can play against each other.

Subject: Great game

Works perfectly. I love the older graphics.

Subject: F1 Key Is Only a Problem in Chrome

As with many of these games that require the F1 key, this game is playable in Firefox, but not in Google Chrome.

In Firefox, this game works great and is exactly like I remember it from the 80s!

Subject: I used to play this with my friends

We played it so often, we knew the answers to all the puzzles. I remember the answer to one of the puzzles was misspelled. Unfortunately, I cannot remember which puzzle was wrong!

It does work, by the way. On my laptop I have to hold down the [fn] at the same time as F1/F3/F5.

Subject: Not functional due to keys required

I used to play this game all the time when I was a kid. No matter how the graphics are the gameplay is the same and this brings me back.
The keys required to play (F1, F3, F5) doesn't work in the game because when you press F1 it opens up help for your browser and you need this to continue and spin the wheel. The F5 key is required to Solve the Puzzle, but instead refreshes your web page.
